WRG,
I thought maybe Marcia Payne had finished with the Whitney family
postings. The last two days she was posting other families. This came in
today.
If you see your ancestors and the information is incorrect. Talk to Allan
Green or Robert L. Ward or whoever on the WRG who can help you sort through
your line. These are not being posted by me. They are being posted on
another list I am on . I am only forwarding the material to you. They are
from the Worcestor Massachuetts list.
